Even well-made dentures can sometimes rub against sensitive gums or feel slightly uneven when you bite. A quick, gentle denture adjustment relieves the pressure spot so you can wear your teeth comfortably all day.
At Ziaee Denture Clinic in Vancouver, our licensed denturist, Mohammad Kabir Ziaee, uses gentle indicator pastes to find the exact high spot causing friction and carefully eases the pressure.
Routine adjustments balance your bite and protect your gums from irritation, keeping your mouth healthy and pain-free.
You should book an adjustment if you feel a tender spot on your gums, notice clicking when you chew, feel uneven pressure on one side, or have a loose clasp on your partial denture.
Whether your dentures are brand new or you have worn them for years, small changes in your mouth can alter how they sit. We adjust all kinds of dentures, including full, partial, and implant styles.
Adjustments are covered under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and private insurance, and our clinic provides complimentary follow-up adjustments for our patients.
You will tell us where you feel soreness. We apply a temporary indicator paste to the denture to pinpoint the exact pressure point against your gums.
The adjustment takes only a few minutes. We polish down the high spot, smooth the edges, and check that it feels comfortable before you put it back in.
You will feel relief right away. If your gums need further settling over the coming weeks, we are always happy to see you for another quick check.
